LOL Player decline

[Isalon]

1 month ago, 500K players
1 month later (today), literally half that at 250K players
Game is already dying because devs wasted their opportunity for a successful launch. How's that "vision" working for you now?
Enjoy watching player base numbers continue to drop.
XP on death after level 70
One shots to non-telegraphed boss attacks
Cheap deaths
Best part is when the game finally dies and servers officially shut down, NOBODY will be able to play, because it's an ONLINE ONLY game
This is nothing like Diablo 2, or any of the Diablo games. You all got suckered.

You do realise in POE1, when a new league comes out the playercount goes from 5k to 200k+, and then 1 month later is halved to about 100k and then keeps going down back to ~5k, then next league back to 200k+? POE2 will operate the exact same, half the players playing after 1 month will stop playing and continue to slowly decline, then a new league launches and it will get a massive surge of returning players again. This is literally how POE1 worked and how POE2 will work.

Typical low lvl, low hour player post as usual. Psst hey buddy, we don't care, we are use to POE 1, it doesn't bother us at all and this game will still be around in 17 years just like POE 1 is. Next...

Of course numbers are going to continue to drop. Its an early access arpg. They will rise and fall many times throughout EA. You won't find a single arpg with consistent player counts over months, unless they're just semi-dead old ones without seasons like grim dawn, so it's just a consistently low player count.

[magnumaniac]

How many games can you find that have kept more than 50% of concurrent users after 1 month?
Just looking at the so called "best" recent games...

Black Myth Wukong - less than 25% after 1 month
Palworld - ~13% after 1 month
Baldurs Gate 3 - ~50% after 1 month
Elden Ring - ~48% after 1 month

So according to your metrics, those (fully released) games are all going to die too? Nope, facts don't lie and you are simply wrong.

[Nefser]

I'd expect it to drop to the 25k-50k range...but so what? The core numbers have given evidence of how popular this game currently is. Interest is very high, even if many don't actually enjoy it (as they don't know how to build a char to clear areas).

[MacArthur]

Lmao OP skill issue if you are so upset about the reasons you listed.
Also PoE2 doesn't even have league content yet so people like me played the game and now waiting for that. Since i got lvl 90+ and beat endgame boses

[FoxHound]

You gave Cyberpunk, Manor Lords, Destiny 2 and other good games bad reviews. You're opinion is dog poop. Angry mugger.

[Critical]

This guy has zero clue about player retention and is yet another mouth breather who sees a number go down and assumes the game will die. You're ignorant of your own ignorance

[MacArthur]

Yeah this is nothing like Diablo games, i agree. this is actually a good game unlike that blizzard trash

[qsnoopyjr]

Basically the samething as Diablo4.

If you ask me, Diablo2 is still king. As in 5 years later no new ARPGs and got an ARPG itch, which ARPG to play, I'm loading Diablo2.

Diablo2 pretty much has everything PoE2 has, but more. Set armor and runes. PoE2 aint got set aint got Runes and Diablo2 uniques are actually really good. And creative

Diablo2 you can teleport through walls, can you do this in POE2? nOpe.

Also, I think people start to change mindset when they find out Tencent and China owns PoE2, GGG.

[Echo]

Omgg the game is dying, lemme check D4 numbers 4k with an average of 6k, ehh, if poe is dying D4 is straight up dead LMAO

Never understood what people liked in D2.
Never played it myself, until D2R and my friends were nagging me to play with them.
Went through campaign, not once, not twice, but trice and then i was told that is it.
I can either open the same 5 superchests or kill same 3 bosses thousands of times in hope to find a rune that is worth more than a wisdom scroll.
And if i want to be "efficient" either play TP sorc or get a gear with TP.
Oh and also fill up 90% of my inventory with charms...

Sure, 25 years ago, that could have been great, but by today standards?
Not to mention the fantastic blizzard server quality that meant you couldnt play the game for months due to constant disconnections that strangely only happens with battlenet as a small indie company cant handle network after 3 decades...

As for OP, didnt expect more from a freedom fighter.
